Boosts welcome

- I read it as a paperback in the late 90s. It was on the new arrivals shelf at my local library
- Male author, I'm pretty sure. I dunno if it's someone notable or not.
- Main premise involves a human who studies other planets' cultures & uses some future tech that allows him to change his body so it's just like the ones of the alien culture.
- He does that repeatedly. There might be risks from this?
- In the end, rather than going to back to his human form, he decides to make his body a fusion of parts from the various cultures.
- Maybe he kinda takes a hoop-like shape and rolls away??

I've been trying to figure this out for yearsssss!

There are people who will tell you that the way things are is the way things have always been and will always be.

Don’t listen to these people.

The way things are is just raw material for the way things can be. And by your every action or inaction you help determine what that is.

@kistaro Capitalism teaches people to feel like they're above others if they're better off than them, lest people start cooperating with each other against the rich. 🤷‍♀️

@inmysocks @garbados @joshg Oh look, here's a paper that's even harder to understand, that does fancy math to prove that FTL travel DOES NOT imply time travel.

I.e. it is possible to have a universe with both relativity, causality and FTL without time travel being possible.

"Reduce!" howled the protestors, "Reuse! Recycle!"

They were at it all night, keeping CEOs awake, vacating just before dawn.

As dusk blossomed on distant continents, others concerned with the environment rose and marched into the night.

Some simply planted and tended saplings, fiercely protecting their oxygen giving charges.

The vampires would save the Earth if humans didn't.

After all, they UNDERSTOOD conserving THEIR food supply.

Counter-appropriation PSA: a black woman came up with intersectionality. Most of the bad intersectionality I see is from white people. Unsurprising, but worth noting.

Offer men you know hugs. Create an environment where they feel safe accepting. Support men in creating an environment where they aren't so starved for contact and empathy that they misread any openness to their calm emotional expression as flirting. #InternationalMensDay

Can’t defeat the power structure while in love with a seat at the table

This is my new preferred way to be clocked https://redd.it/dytvx9

Tfw you read Daniel guerin's fascism and big business and realize that the idea of "public private partnerships" and the bailing out of private companies that tanked but leaving them private was literally fascist economic policy and some Democrat tells you public private partnerships are the future

There’s less than 2 days left to pledge to STRIKE!, a cooperative board game about worker power. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1713701812/strike-the-game-of-worker-rebellion It’s funded, so it’s about getting a copy cheaper than full price and stretch goals at this point. This hits many of my personal interests squarely, so…
